97: Who is holding back?

Ning Hua also showed a troubled expression upon hearing this.

After all, it seemed that not only Guo Jun questioned Song Ming's strength, but other older students were also unwilling to act with a new student.

It would be a minor issue if he couldn't perform, but if he faltered at a critical moment, it would be very troublesome.

Song Ming's expression suddenly turned cold.

Then, he swept a sharp gaze towards Guo Jun, his meaning more than obvious.

If he dared to say one more word, he wouldn't mind making him suffer a bit first.

Guo Jun sneered, meeting Song Ming's gaze without showing any weakness.

Ning Hua also felt very helpless.

Song Ming was, after all, a Genius whom God Yi had taken care of, and he was also the Top National Scorer this time.

He was quite different from other new students.

Therefore, she couldn't let him act freely.

Ning Hua had no better solution at the moment, so she could only brace herself and say, "Since Song Ming is the Top National Scorer and an Aura Master, there's always a place for him to contribute in the team."

"So, I don't agree with what you just said, Guo Jun."

"How about this, Song Ming will be in our team, and I will personally look after him. You should be relieved then, right!"

Guo Jun's eyes widened when he heard this, "What, I still have to be in the same team as him? No, absolutely not!"

Ning Hua said forcefully, "If I say yes, then it's yes. Are you the captain or am I the captain?"

Guo Jun still said to himself, "Everyone here is a Professional above Rank 40, and our team even has me and the captain, both around Rank 70. If we bring Song Ming, it will definitely lower our team's average strength!"

Ning Hua, of course, knew this, but Song Ming and Jiang Rong had a very good relationship.

Assigning the two of them to her team was a decision she had made long ago.

She would not allow it to be changed.

Jiang Rong glared at Guo Jun several times in anger, but he was right about one thing.

Her and Song Ming's Ranks were both relatively low.

If they were in Ning Hua's team, it would definitely slow down the mission's progress.

She did not want to see the trial mission snatched away by others.

So, Jiang Rong finally whispered to Ning Hua, "Sister Ning, why don't Song Ming and I go with the new students' team? We shouldn't cause you trouble."

Ning Hua shook her head upon hearing this, "No, I won't be at ease if you leave."

Then, Guo Jun's words reminded her that she had never asked about Song Ming's current Rank and second-tier Profession.

This was her dereliction of duty as a captain.

So, Ning Hua asked, "Song Ming, you went to complete your Profession advancement mission before. Your Rank should have already Broken through Rank 20 by now, right?"

Song Ming nodded, "I advanced to Myriad Laws Celestial Master, and my current Rank is 66!"

He stated his Rank and Profession without any hesitation.

Now was not the time to hide his strength.

To find the Dragon Island Instance and obtain the spring of life more quickly.

Following experienced Professionals like Ning Hua would be much faster.

Otherwise, it would be like a headless fly, wasting time in vain.

The monsters in the Dragon Island Instance would definitely be of higher Rank, and the experience gained would be much more.

And although he didn't understand what the spring of life was.

However, since the ultimate goal of the mission was it.

Its inherent value must not be small.

Just as Song Ming announced his Rank and Profession.

Everyone present had an expression of disbelief.

Especially in the new student team, a burst of exclamations suddenly erupted.

Rank 66?

What kind of concept was that?

How many days had passed since the college entrance exam?

In just over a week, Song Ming had leaped from the initial Rank 20 to Rank 66.

Not only had he completed the second-tier Profession advancement mission, but he had also completed the third-tier mission.

As for the Myriad Laws Celestial Master Profession, the new students did not understand it.

But since Song Ming chose this Profession for advancement, then this Profession must be very powerful.

Among the crowd.

Wang Heng and An Ran both had bitter smiles.

Others might still slightly question whether Song Ming was lying, but having experienced the Abyssal Demon invasion, they truly knew Song Ming's strength.

So, they naturally had no doubt about what Song Ming said at the moment.

But even with their mental preparation, they were still very shocked by Song Ming's rocket-like leveling speed.

These so-called Geniuses of theirs were still only Rank 19 at present.

Compared to Song Ming, it was naturally a difference between heaven and earth.

After the shock, everyone sent out Appraisal Techniques towards Song Ming.

They wanted to know if what Song Ming said was true.

However, as soon as the Appraisal Technique landed on Song Ming's body, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace.

No information feedback was received at all.

Now, everyone was even more surprised and uncertain.

Ning Hua was also the same, her Face full of confusion, she lightly coughed a few times and said, "Junior Song Ming, could it be that you are wearing some item that can block detection?"

"Oh, it's just a special effect of a golden equipment." Saying that, Song Ming took off the Golden Eye, and said faintly to Ning Hua, "Senior, you can try again."

"What, golden equipment?"

"Holy cow, is that for real? Are new students all that rich?"

"Golden equipment, I've saved five years' worth of credit and can't even buy half a piece!"

"How is that possible? You're probably bragging. A golden equipment costs at least a thousand credit, and it's still hard to find!"

Everyone was once again shocked by Song Ming's words.

Including Guo Jun, who sneered repeatedly.

He didn't believe that a new student could get a piece of golden equipment.

He probably thought his words had an effect, and now Song Ming was just trying to save Face, putting on a strong front.

Ning Hua also found it a bit hard to accept, but she quickly composed herself and sent another Appraisal Technique towards Song Ming.

[Song Ming, Profession: Myriad Laws Celestial Master, Rank: 66]

The result of the Appraisal Technique appeared before her eyes.

Ning Hua swallowed, and said somewhat distractedly, "What Song Ming said is true!"

The others immediately stopped talking, and another Appraisal Technique fell on Song Ming's body.

Immediately, the exclamations in the crowd became even stronger.

Because Song Ming was indeed Rank 66.

Which was more than ten Ranks higher than these older students.

At this, those older students who had just spoken out against Song Ming joining them, immediately turned red-faced.

At this moment, they all wished they could crawl into the ground.

If a Rank 66 Professional could be a burden to them, then what about these Professionals of Rank 30 or 40?

"Hmph, hmph, Guo Jun, what do you have to say now? Who's holding us back?" After the shock, Jiang Rong said to Guo Jun with immense pride.

The latter looked at the appraisal result, his Face ashen, and said nothing.

What the hell?

He was just a new student, even if he was the Top National Scorer, it couldn't be this outrageous.

He was Rank 66 right after enrollment.

His Rank was even higher than those fifth-year older students.

Ning Hua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She had originally thought that bringing Song Ming would significantly slow down their team's progress.

But she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Song Ming had become a Rank 66 Professional, and had already advanced to another Profession.

Now, her confidence in completing the mission had grown even stronger.
